Martin arbejder med festivaler, projekter og vægge globalt. Martin Watson is a Norwegian-born artist, whose graphic, street style has been evolving on the walls and shutters of cities around the world over nearly two decades. Uanset om de er nedsænket eller pyntet med en detalje, forsvinder billederne under udtryksfulde, spraymalede streger af forskellige farver og teksturer. Sand til form, forbliver ingen grå plads længe i Martins tilstedeværelse. Aske toner i kompositionerne og den ledige baggrund minder om hans alternative lærreder, betonen. Minimale figurer konstrueret af et par lag med håndskårne stenciler. Funktioner for delikate og organiske tegn sommerfugle, ballerinaer og dyr, alle gengivet i tomt gråtonerum. Med så mange værker på vægge som på lærred og papir forbliver forholdet mellem sårbarhed og styrke konstant i hvert værk. Denne balance ville definere hans kreative tilgang. Evolutionen flyttede ham tættere på en enkel, men mere effektiv, æstetik, som han mente kunne skabe en bro mellem den lidenskab og spontanitet, som Graffitien var for ham og samtidig bruge naturens skrøbelighed.
Omkring år 2000 blev interessen for lag mere bogstavelig med introduktionen af stencils i hans arbejde. Byens fysiske arkitektur var en konstant inspiration, idet udarbejdelsen og ødelæggelsen af hver generation bidrog til den bymæssige infrastruktur. Hans værker kan ses som spejling af gadens stigning og fald, da han symbolsk genskaber bymiljøet og derefter vandaliserer det for at afsløre hans livlige transformationer.Han voksede op i Oslo Norge, og han var en aktiv del af den nye graffitiscene i de tidlige 90’ere. I det sidste årti har Martin udviklet en genkendelig æstetik, der kombinerer abstrakt bevægelse med figurative stencillerede kompositioner. Since his artistic debut in 2004, he has had several solo shows and participated in many group exhibitions, both nationally and internationally.Martin Whatson (f.1984) er en norsk gadekunstner, der er bedst kendt for sine kalligrafiske skriblerier i gråtonede hulrum. Norwegian artist Martin Whatson certainly maximized his time during his latest Aalborg trip by completing two stellar murals for this years Out in the. He use grey tones as a foundation but adds vibrant colors to break the monochrome concrete expression and bring a splash of life to his work. Inspired by artist like Jose Parlá and Cy Twombly, his abstract graffiti and stencils are a mix of urban scenes showing the development of a walls lifetime. His artistic expression started more political, but has developed into a more subtle expression blending graffiti, stencil art and decay together. This interest for decay has helped develop his style, motives and composition and he enjoys creating either unity or conflict between materials, backgrounds and human intervention. After following graffiti and its development, he started his own stencil production 10 years ago in the winter of 2004. While studying Art and Graphic design at Westerdals School of Communication, Oslo, he discovered stencils and the urban art scene.
He looks for inspiration in people, city landscapes, old buildings, graffiti, posters and decaying walls. 1984) is a Norwegian born and based stencil artist.
Martin has a continuous urge to search for beauty in what is commonly dismissed as ugly, out of style or simply left behind. 1984) is a Norwegian born and based stencil artist.
